Milwaukee shoulder syndrome or rapid destructive arthritis of the shoulder; is a particular form of arthritis which affects mainly elderly patients, predominantly women, with limited pain and sometimes neuropathic joints, rotator cuff tear, joint instability, mildly inflammatory or noninflammatory, blood-stained effusion, calcium apatite crystals, and marked joint and bone destruction. This is very uncommon condition and very sparsely reported and so far, there is no case report from India, hence, we report a case of Milwaukee shoulder syndrome from India.
